Hello, My name is Lauryn, and I am a master’s-level clinician in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with clients with a variety of backgrounds, with a passion for supporting individuals navigating anxiety/stress, as well as couples and families navigating communication issues and differences of perspective. I am also passionate about working with clients with OCD, those struggling with self-image and self-esteem, and life stage transitions (going to college, getting married, etc.)
It is important to me that my clients feel able to be fully themselves and that our work together empowers them to carry this self-acceptance into their daily lives. I primarily operate from the therapeutic modality of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), also integrating aspects of Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I am currently accepting new clients! I offer individual, couple, family & group therapy and I’m available to meet virtually or in-person. My self-pay rates are $125 for individual sessions and $150 for couple/family sessions, though I do accept most insurance plans! Reach out to learn more!
Call or Lauryn Waters now for a free 15 minute consultation - (470) 722-1416

My approach to therapy is very explorative and discovery-based. I believe experiences shape us across our lifetimes, even those that seem unimportant at first glance. I prioritize the exploration of patterns and personal histories that may have an impact on my clients. With this insight, I believe clients are empowered to take more control of their relationship trajectories and personal growth.

I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary therapy approach, though I also incorporate aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with individual clients and the Gottman Method in my work with couples. I tailor my approach to what appears to be most useful for a client's particular circumstances, needs, and preferences.
